作品介紹

 ⟪離岸⟫
在架子上放了三種不同的石頭樣態，翻製的中空不鏽鋼石頭、將地面石頭描繪於透明片上並將其揉成球狀來模擬石頭與噴墨於透明片貼於牆上的石頭，中空的石頭是由表面向內一個均勻的厚度所構成的，揉製的石頭是由描繪的質感所堆疊出來的，而牆面上的透明片則是對現實的扁平與壓縮（立體平面化），試圖用這三種不同物件來呈現對表面的不同想像。

“Beyond the  surface”
Three different forms of stones are displayed on the shelf – a hollow stainless steel stone, a transparent film with an inkjet-printed image of a ground stone crumpled into a ball to simulate a stone’s texture, and an inkjet-printed image of a stone on a transparent film attached to the wall. The hollow stone is composed of a consistent thickness from the surface inward. The crumpled stone is stacked to create a textured surface, while the transparent film on the wall flattens and compresses the reality (two-dimensional flattening), attempting to present different imaginations of the surface using these three distinct objects.

⟪地殼與星⟫
紙上描繪的是地面的影像，而上方擺放的石膏塊則是透過翻製所呈現出的地面質地，以平面與立體兩種相異的路徑來呈現同一空間。平面透過深淺聚散來描繪輪廓，立體則是以凹凸起伏，透過兩者的並置，試圖來呈現視覺可見的「輪廓」對感官的影響。

“Crust and Star”
The image of the ground is depicted on paper, while the plaster block placed above represents the ground texture achieved through casting. This installation presents the same space through two different paths: two-dimensional and three-dimensional. The contours are depicted through light and dark variations in the two-dimensional plane, while the three-dimensional approach involves undulations and reliefs. By juxtaposing both, an attempt is made to showcase how the visually perceptible “contours” influence the senses.

⟪移山⟫
不鏽鋼台座上放置了環氧樹脂所翻製的半透明石頭及牆上所殘留下來的碳粉痕跡，碳粉從架上的縫隙而掉落至地面上。以再製的方式來去除石頭中的沙礫與雜質，並將掉落的碳粉清除只留下痕跡，透過人為的揀選及剔除試圖讓常被忽略的輪廓及痕跡被凸顯出來。

“Move the mountain”
A semi-transparent stone crafted from epoxy resin is placed on a stainless steel pedestal, along with carbon powder traces left on the wall. The carbon powder has fallen from the crevices of the shelf to the floor. By reproducing the process, the impurities and debris in the stone are removed, leaving behind only traces of the fallen carbon powder. Through deliberate selection and removal, an effort is made to emphasize overlooked contours and traces.

藝術家介紹 

陳肇彤（臺灣），畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術系碩士班。作品透過空間裝置、材質轉換及雕塑來描繪生活角落的枝微末節、實體及思想所在的記憶與視覺的情緒。作品透過精心組織，將觀察到的影像與視覺間的關係及邊界的重新劃定注入其中，藉此來探索我們當下所在的視覺樣貌。近期創作以城市及實質居住空間的來回轉換作為途徑，試圖探索人對於空間的認知、儀式及心理的切換過程。

With an MFA in fine art from the Taipei National University of the Arts, CHEN Chao-Tung currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan. His art works depict the niceties of everyday life, the memories where entities and thoughts reside, and the visual emotions through spatial installations, material transformation, and sculptures. The observed relationship between image and vision and the re-delineation of boundaries are infused into the works through artful arrangement to explore the visual landscape of where we are now. The artist’s recent works have utilized the to-and-fro transition between urban areas and physical living spaces as a means in their attempt to explore the alternation between cognitive, ritual, and psychological processes by which humans comprehend space.
